No Freedom of Expression for Muslims Under the Draconian Pretext of “Extremism”
What is perhaps more outrageous is the reported reason behind such a heavy-handed harassment. The police were combing through the entire mosques, to the extent that they were turning copies of the Qur’ān inside-out looking for an alleged ‘extremist’ and ‘racist’ book. What was this book? A Czech translation of The Fundamentals of Tawheed by Dr Bilal Phillips.
The seemingly arbitrary, far-fetched interpretation of such a simple, ubiquitous book on basic Islamic beliefs as hate speech and racism is not only clearly ridiculous for anyone who has read the book, but extremely offensive.
The 55-year-old Czech citizen that organised the translation and publishing of the book was arrested and faces charges of “promoting hate speech”, a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
